The method includes the steps of: transmitting to the receiving communication apparatus from the transmitting communication apparatus a plurality of packets in a consecutive manner; and when packets of the plurality of packets transmitted from the transmitting communication apparatus to the receiving communication apparatus are consecutively lost, reporting to the transmitting communication apparatus from the receiving communication apparatus the number of the consecutively lost packets.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to communication control methods applied when performing packet communication between communication apparatuses, and to communication systems and communication apparatuses that use the communication control methods.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Conventionally, in communication using the TCP protocol, window control is adopted to control transmission confirmation and reception confirmation (acknowledge) during communication (flow control). In window control, a transmitting node can consecutively transmit packets to a receiving node without waiting for reception confirmation from the receiving node, thereby improving throughput.
- Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, when a transmitting node transmits a connection request (SYN) to a receiving node, the receiving node transmits to the transmitting node a connection establishment response (ACK) including information of a free area (window size) in a receiving buffer and a connection establishment request (SYN) with respect to the transmitting node. It should be noted that, in ACK (x, y), “x” represents information of the order of a packet to be requested next to the transmitting node, and “y” represents the window size. Here, the content of the ACK is ACK (1, 10).
- In response to reception of the connection establishment response including the information of the window size and the connection establishment request, the transmitting node returns a response (ACK). In addition, based on the notified window size, the transmitting node determines the number of packets that can be consecutively transmitted to the receiving node without waiting for reception confirmation from the receiving node. In this case, the window size is “10”, and the number of packets that the transmitting node wishes to transmit is “6”. Accordingly, the transmitting node determines that all of the six packets can be consecutively transmitted to the receiving node without waiting for reception confirmation from the receiving node. Thus, the transmitting node transmits the packets consecutively, and the receiving node receives the packets (indicated by SND(1) through SND(6) in FIG. 1).
- After receiving the six packets from the transmitting node, the receiving node transmits to the transmitting node a response (ACK) for requesting the next packet. On this occasion, the content of the ACK is ACK (7, 4) including “7” which is information of the order of a packet to be requested next to the transmitting node, and “4” which is the window size. Based on the ACK (7, 4), the transmitting node determines that the receiving node has received all of the six packets.
- In communication adopting the above-mentioned window control of the TCP protocol, in a case where a plurality of consecutive packets are lost, retransmission control is performed as described below.
- Referring to FIG. 2, the receiving node sequentially receives the packets from the transmitting node. In a case where the consecutive third and fourth packets are lost during communication, however, after receiving the second packets (indicated by the lower SND(2) in FIG. 2), the receiving node receives the fifth packet (indicated by SND(5) in FIG. 1). Hence, the receiving node determines that the third and fourth packets are lost, and returns a response (ACK) to the transmitting node. Additionally, the receiving node returns a similar response (ACK) to the transmitting node when the sixth packet SND(6) is received. The content of the ACK is ACK (3, 8) including “3” which is information of the order of a packet to be requested next to the. transmitting node, i.e., the third packet that is the first packet of the lost consecutive packets, and including “8” which is the window size in the case where the third and the following packets are not received. Based on the ACK (3, 8), the transmitting node determines that the receiving node requests the third packet, and retransmits the third packet to the receiving node (indicated by the lower SND(3) in FIG. 2).
- Upon reception of the third packet, the receiving node returns, to the transmitting node, ACK (4, 7) including “4” which is information of the order of a packet to be requested next to the transmitting node, i.e., the fourth packet that is lost immediately after the third packet, and including “7” which is the window size in the case where the fourth and the following packets are not received. Based on the ACK (4, 7), the transmitting node determines that the receiving node requests the fourth packet, and retransmits the fourth packet (indicated by the lower SND(4) in FIG. 2).
- Upon reception of the fourth packet, since all of the six packets are received the receiving node returns, to the transmitting node, ACK (7, 4) including “7” which is information of the order of a packet to be requested next to the transmitting node, and “4” which is the window size. Based on the ACK (7, 4), the transmitting node determines that the receiving node has received all of the six packets.
- In the above-mentioned retransmission control, however, the transmitting node retransmits the packets one by one that are lost consecutively during communication. Thus, throughput is not improved since it is impossible to take advantage of window control. Accordingly, there is a demand for taking advantage of window control also in retransmission of packets, thereby improving throughput.
- Accordingly, it is a general object of the present invention to provide an improved and useful communication control method, communication system, and communication apparatus in which one or more of the abovementioned problems are eliminated.
- It is another and more specific object of the present invention to provide a communication control method, a communication system, and a communication apparatus that improve throughput in retransmission of packets.
- In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a communication control method of controlling packet communication between a transmitting communication apparatus and a receiving communication apparatus, the method including the steps of:
- transmitting to the receiving communication apparatus from the transmitting communication apparatus a plurality of packets in a consecutive manner; and
- when packets of the plurality of packets transmitted from the transmitting communication apparatus to the receiving communication apparatus are consecutively lost, reporting to the transmitting communication apparatus from the receiving communication apparatus the number of the consecutively lost packets.
- Additionally, according to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a communication control method of controlling packet communication between a transmitting communication apparatus and a receiving communication apparatus, the method including the steps of:
- transmitting to the receiving communication apparatus from the transmitting communication apparatus a plurality of packets in a consecutive manner; and
- when packets of the plurality of packets transmitted from the transmitting communication apparatus to the receiving communication apparatus are consecutively lost, retransmitting to the receiving communication apparatus from the transmitting communication apparatus the lost packets in a consecutive manner.
- In addition, according to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a communication system that includes:
- a receiving communication apparatus including a packet lost reporting part; and
- a transmitting communication apparatus including a packet transmitter,
- wherein the packet transmitter transmits to the receiving communication apparatus a plurality of packets in a consecutive manner, and
- wherein the packet lost reporting part reports to the transmitting communication apparatus, when packets of the plurality of packets transmitted to the receiving communication apparatus are consecutively lost, the number of the consecutively lost packets.
- Further, according to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a communication system that includes:
- a receiving communication apparatus; and
- a transmitting communication apparatus including a packet transmitter and a packet retransmitter,
- wherein said packet transmitter transmits to the receiving communication apparatus a plurality of packets in a consecutive manner, and
- wherein said packet retransmitter retransmits to the receiving communication apparatus, when packets of the plurality of packets transmitted to the receiving communication apparatus are consecutively lost, the consecutively lost packets in a consecutive manner.
- Additionally, according to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a communication apparatus for receiving packets transmitted from a transmitting communication apparatus and reporting information to the transmitting communication apparatus, the communication apparatus including:
- a packet lost reporting part that reports to the transmitting communication apparatus, when packets transmitted from the transmitting communication apparatus are consecutively lost, the number of the consecutively lost packets.
- Additionally, according to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a communication apparatus for transmitting packets to a receiving communication apparatus and receiving information from the receiving communication apparatus, the communication apparatus including:
- a packet transmitter that transmits a plurality of packets to the receiving communication apparatus; and
- a packet retransmitter that retransmits to the receiving communication apparatus in a consecutive manner, when packets transmitted to the receiving communication apparatus are consecutively lost, the consecutively lost packets based on order information of a first packet of the lost packets and the number of the lost packets.
- According to the present invention, in retransmission of packets, the receiving communication apparatus reports to the transmitting communication apparatus the order information of the first packet of the consecutively lost packets and the number of the consecutively lost packets. That is, instead of reporting a free area in the receiving buffer, the receiving communication apparatus reports the number of the consecutively lost packets. Hence, it becomes possible for the transmitting communication apparatus to determine the number of the consecutively lost packets, which cannot be determined conventionally. In addition, it is possible to improve throughput by retransmitting the consecutively lost packets in a consecutive manner.

receiver 52 in the receivingnode 40 receives and transmits the connection establishment response to thepacket communication controller 42. Based on the connection establishment response from the transmitter/receiver 52, thereception control function 46 of thepacket communication controller 42 determines that the connection is established with the transmittingnode 20. - From the information of the window size included in the connection establishment response from the transmitting
node 30, the windowsize determination function 26 of thepacket communication controller 22 in the transmittingnode 20 determines the number of packets that can be consecutively transmitted to the receivingnode 40 without waiting for reception confirmation (acknowledge) from the receivingnode 40. - Then, the

Each of the packets transmitted to the transmitter/receiver 30 includes information representing the order (order information) of the packet. The transmitter/receiver 30 consecutively transmits the packets to the receivingnode 40 via thecommunication network 60. - The transmitter/
receiver 52 in the receivingnode 40 receives and transmits to thepacket communication controller 42 the packets that are transmitted from the transmittingnode 20. Thereception control function 46 of thepacket communication controller 42 stores in the receivingbuffer 50 the packets that are transmitted from the transmitter/receiver 52. In addition, when a packet is not transmitted from the transmitter/receiver 52 for a predetermined time, thereception control function 46 of thepacket communication controller 42 determines that all of the packets consecutively transmitted from the transmittingnode 20 are received. Then, thereception control function 46 transmits to the transmittingnode 20 via the communication network 60 a response (reception completion response) including the order information of a packet to be requested next and information of the window size at that time. - The transmitter/
receiver 30 in the transmittingnode 20 receives and transmits to thepacket communication controller 22 the reception completion response. Based on the reception completion response, thepacket communication controller 22 determines that the receivingnode 40 has received all of the packets that are consecutively transmitted by the transmittingnode 20. - The packet lost
detection function 48 of thepacket communication controller 42 in the receivingnode 40 monitors the order information included in the packets that are transmitted from the transmitter/receiver 52 in parallel with the above-mentioned reception process by thereception control function 46. In a case where the order information is not consecutive, the packet lostdetection function 48 determines that a packet is lost during the communication. Additionally, in a case where packets are consecutively lost, the packet lostdetection function 48 of thepacket communication controller 42 transmits to the transmitter/receiver 52 a response (packet lost response) including the order information of the first packet of the consecutively lost packets and information of the number of the lost packets. The transmitter/receiver 52 transmits the packet lost response to the transmittingnode 20 via thecommunication network 60. - The transmitter/
receiver 30 in the transmittingnode 20 receives and transmits to thepacket communication controller 22 the packet lost response. Theretransmission function 28 of thepacket communication controller 22 determines the first packet to be retransmitted from the order information of the first packet included in the packet lost response. Also, theretransmission control function 28 of thepacket communication controller 22 determines the number of packets to be retransmitted based on the number of consecutively lost packets included in the packet lost response. - The
retransmission control function 28 of thepacket communication controller 22 transmits the consecutively lost packets to the transmitter/receiver 30. The transmitter/receiver 30 consecutively transmits the consecutively lost packets to the receivingnode 40 via thecommunication network 60. - Referring to FIG. 4, a description will now be given of a specific example of packet transmission control and retransmission control by the transmitting
node 20 and the receivingnode 40. - Prior to packet transmission, the transmitting
node 20 transmits a connection request (SYN) to the receivingnode 40. Upon reception of the connection request, the receivingnode 40 transmits to the transmitting node 20 a connection request (SYN) and a connection establishment response (ACK) including information of a free area (window size) in the receivingbuffer 50. In this case, in ACK (x, y), “x” represents the order information of a packet to be requested next by the receivingnode 40 to the transmittingnode 20, and “y” represents the window size. Here, since the receivingnode 40 has not received a packet from the transmittingnode 20, the order information of a packet to be requested next with respect to the transmittingnode 20 is “1”. In addition, it is assumed that the window size is “10”. Thus, the content of the connection establishment response (ACK) is ACK (1, 10). - The transmitting
node 20 returns a connection establishment response (ACK) to the receivingnode 40 in response to the reception of the connection request and the connection establishment response from the receivingnode 40. Also, based on the window size included in the received connection establishment response, the transmittingnode 20 determines the number of packets that can be consecutively transmitted to the receivingnode 40 without waiting for a reception confirmation from the receivingnode 40. In this case, it is assumed that the window size is “10” and the number of packets that the transmittingnode 20 wishes to transmit is “6”. Accordingly, the transmittingnode 20 determines that all of the six packets can be consecutively transmitted to the receivingnode 40 without waiting for a reception confirmation from the receivingnode 40, and consecutively transmits the six packets to the receiving node 40 (SND(1) through SND(6)). The six packets to be transmitted includes the order information of “1” through “6” according to the transmission order. - The receiving
node 40 sequentially receives the packets from the transmittingnode 20. However, in a case where, among the six packets transmitted by the transmittingnode 20, the consecutive third and fourth packets are lost during the communication, the receivingnode 40 receives the fifth packet (SND(5)) after receiving the second packet (SND(2)). Hence, the receivingnode 40 determines that the third and fourth packets are lost and returns a packet lost response (ACK) to the transmittingnode 20. In addition, the receivingnode 40 returns a similar packet lost response (ACK) to the transmittingnode 20 upon reception of the sixth packet. The contents of these packet lost responses ACKs are ACK (3, 2) including “3” which is the order information of a packet to be requested next to the transmittingnode 20 by the receivingnode 40, i.e., the third packet that is the first packet of the consecutive lost packets, and including “2” which is the number of the consecutive lost packets. - Based on the packet lost responses (ACK (3, 2)), the transmitting
node 20 determines that the receivingnode 40 has not received the consecutive two packets starting from the third packet, i.e., the third and fourth packets, and retransmits the third and fourth packets consecutively to the receiving node 40 (SND(3), SND(4)). - The receiving
node 40 receives the third and fourth packets. On this occasion, the receivingnode 40 is rendered to receive all of the first through sixth packets. When a packet is not transmitted to the receivingnode 40 for a predetermined time, the receivingnode 40 determines that all of the packets consecutively transmitted from the transmittingnode 20 have been received, and returns a reception completion response (ACK (7, 4)) to the transmittingnode 20. The ACK (7, 4) includes “7” which is the order information of a packet to be requested next to the transmittingnode 20, i.e., the seventh packet, and includes “4” which is the window size. - Based on the reception completion response (ACK (7, 4)), the transmitting
node 20 determines that all of the six packets have been received by the receivingnode 40. - As mentioned above, in the
communication system 100 according to this embodiment, when packets transmitted from the transmittingnode 20 are consecutively lost, the receivingnode 40 reports to the transmittingnode 20 the order information of the first packet of the consecutively lost packets and the number of the consecutively lost packets. In other words, instead of reporting a free area in the receivingbuffer 50 as in conventional ways, the receivingnode 40 reports to the transmittingnode 20 the number of packets that are consecutively lost. Hence, the transmitting node 20.can determine the number of consecutively lost packets, which cannot be determined conventionally. Further, the transmittingnode 20 can retransmit the consecutively lost packets not one by one but in a consecutive manner. Thus, it is possible.to improve throughput. - Accordingly, with the present invention, it is possible to improve throughput in retransmission of packets.
- The present invention is not limited to the specifically disclosed embodiments, and variations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
- The present application is based on Japanese priority application No. 2002-352837 filed on Dec. 4, 2002, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
